Scheduler job (form) [AX 2012]

Use the Scheduler job form to create, manage, and delete Retail Scheduler jobs. Use jobs to distribute data modifications in tables to specific store locations. You must create subjobs to manage data distribution for specific tables and fields in a table.

This control is available only in AX 2012 R2 and AX 2012 Feature Pack.

Select this check box to indicate that the scheduler subjob is run when the batch job that contains it is run. Clear this check box if you do not want the subjob to run together with the batch job.

Subjob replication method

This control is available only in AX 2012 R2 and AX 2012 Feature Pack.

The replication method for the scheduler subjob:

Normal – Replicate all records from the source table to the destination table for the selected distribution location.

By actions – Replicate only the records that have been modified since the last replication.

Table name

The name of the table in the Microsoft Dynamics AX database that data is sent to or received from.

Reference only

This control is available only in AX 2012 R3.

This field is available only in environments that use multi-version POS support.

When this check box is selected, it indicates that the table is used only for reference when determining the data changes that must be distributed through Commerce Data Exchange.

For example, assume that the data to be distributed is contained in Table A. To calculate the changes in Table A, both Table A and Table B must be analyzed. In this case, you would create subjob A, to distribute data from Table A. You would also create subjob B and mark the reference-only check box. Changes are tracked for Table B, but no data is distributed from Table B.

This FastTab is available only in AX 2012 R2 and AX 2012 Feature Pack.
